Description

The Children's Museum is all about combining learning with having FUN!

Photography is a great art form to introduce kids to: it isn’t messy, fantastic results can be achieved from day one, and the results will be treasured for years to come.

Join us for our Kids Camera Club Workshop which will teach your children how to master camera settings, creatively engage with subjects and play with lighting and composition.

This time we are stepping away from nature, and embarking on an urban adventure!

Starting at the green sculpture in Forrest Place, we will wind our way through some amazing laneways, down the Terrace and to Elizabeth Quay, taking photos of new and old landmarks, people, murals and other unexpected things along the way! A great and safe way to introduce children to the wonders the city holds.

Visual literacy is incredibly important in our current world. It is our goal to encourage children to look beyond the surface of an image, to understand its context and meaning by getting a chance to develop their own.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Cyrus found a vocation in photography in 1994, and even before had been snapping away whenever he could.

During the first 4 years Cyrus exhibited in galleries & cafés and sold to collectors.

The demand in wedding photography, however, focused his energies towards being a wedding specialist and mentor to many new wedding creatives.

In 2008 this culminated in the founding of Emotion Image, a studio made to promote this new pool of talent.

Today Cyrus continues to specialise in weddings and waterscapes, and was nominated in 2008, 2009 and 2010 for Australia’s “Top Wedding Photographers”. Cyrus has worked with The Children's Museum of WA on previous workshops, and is currently developing other after school and holiday programs.

Cyrus has been published in Perth based Artist’s Chronicle, Nationally in Capture Magazine, has had four stories published in the West’s “Inside Cover”, and been interviewed on ABC radi
